The Week Ahead for Cancer
Monday, July 6th – Sunday, July 12th
A little over halfway through the year, and it seems an assessment is due. Are you done with something or is life still in it? Are you where you expected to be at this point in time? Saturn is in pole position and this planet has everything to do with time and substance. Things may look a little gloomy this week so be sure not to confuse realistic thinking with negativity, and even if you reach the conclusion that a situation is beyond repair, with Mercury in retrograde until later in July, finding better ways to end it, even some kind of silver lining, is possible.
Serious thinking.

Monday, June 29th – Sunday, July 5th
This week’s full moon (29th/30th) cuts across the axis of relationships. It represents a crossroads, especially if you have a birthday at this time. Other people’s actions impact your life and for some Cancerians it is time to make a commitment or to break one. Not only this, but Jupiter enters your zone of self-worth all set to increase your stock over the next twelve months. To add to the promise of the week ahead, Mars conjoins Uranus on the fourth of July. It is a time of high risk yet also great (and unexpected) rewards. Keep your plans loose.
Exciting biting.

The Month Ahead for Cancer
July 2026
This is not your average July. It’s a fast paced, eventful few weeks, and a time when you can make an impact and see one or more of your plans come to fruition. There will be some shocks and surprises – keep your feet on the ground around the 4th and 27th. Mercury will be in retrograde until the 23rd so there will be the usual delays and detours to build in, but on the other hand it gives you time to rethink a situation and make a move you are entirely happy with. And should you experience a disappointment, see it as a blessing in disguise.
